- Comment on ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services 6 days ago:
“own”
- Comment on People are realizing celebrities are unnecessary 1 week ago:
Taylor Swift’s Eras tour causes a bump in GDP of the areas it goes to. OP’s statement is crap.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 week ago:
“Rental” and “Library” are contradicting concepts and should not be used next to each other like this.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter 1 week ago:
Was anyone tweeting from the switch in the first place?
- Comment on Smart meter data: the Government’s at it again 1 week ago:
“the government’s at it again” is a good slogan to sum up the last 14 years.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 2 weeks ago:
“Incel mentality”. Thinking they deserve the world on a plate without doing the work to earn the reward.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 2 weeks ago:
It’s called possessiveness when humans do it. Thinking of someone as your possession. It doesn’t have the bite to it as a term but it’s 100% the case that companies think they own their users.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think we should call it that but damned if the analogy doesn’t fit.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 2 weeks ago:
Windows 2000 is also missing and was probably the last time Microsoft put out an OS that was good from the start rather than sucking on release.
Also the ones listed as bad from Vista onwards simply never got the improvements.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 2 weeks ago:
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 2 weeks ago:
I dislike this push to move all of media to the internet. Just look at what’s happened to print journalism once the managers decided to cut costs and move online. Now most of it is clickbait for ad revenue. Indeed, print subscriptions have been making a comeback recently because at least in print there are standards.
Plus there’s the security concern of putting every craptacular TV on the internet and we’re one shitty company giving all their displays the same default password away from a massive bitnet sending a million Viagra emails a second, or worse, hosting ransomware.
In the future I hope for a separate system from internet protocol that can handle free to view TV. Something that is receive-only like current TV ariels and GPS. Virgin already does this with their one fibre line to the home carrying both their TV service and a separate internet connection. You can get one, the other, or both over that same line. With the rollout of fibre across the country I hope this becomes the chosen solution for people to be able to plug their TV into the line to pick up the free channels without having to pay for internet service if they don’t want that (remember that a lot of people’s internet connection is their phone).

Yeah, that’ll help! 🙄

This is what is possible when humans put aside our differences and work together!
- Comment on Can I lick it? 3 weeks ago:
Purple - I don’t think it’s possible to do that.
- Comment on MoD giving Ukrainian soldiers in the UK free cigarettes to 'boost morale' 3 weeks ago:
The British army tells you not to quit smoking when you join as the training is tough enough without the withdrawal added on top so this stands to reason.
- Comment on Not just mums go to Iceland: supermarket drops slogan to be more inclusive 4 weeks ago:
*Performative meltdown
- Comment on Life was better in the nineties and noughties, say most Britons 5 weeks ago:
I wonder what might have happened in 2010 to stunt the progress…
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’d say those strides have already achieved their goal now that all other car makers are offering electric versions of their models. There are even e-vans and e-trucks now and they’ll only get better with each passing year.
- Comment on [BBC Sounds] Helen Lewis has left the chat 5 weeks ago:
You really can’t it’s been a settled issue for a long time.
Trans women get shit for the possibility of testosterone improving their performance but the science shows they actually have less testosterone than some of the cis women they’re competing against. This is thanks to the puberty blockers the government just decided that kids can’t have access to. Transphobia begets transphobia.
- Comment on People think onlyfans is weird 5 weeks ago:
Nah, everyone has the right number of fingers.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
A lot of them have a similar mindset. Their next cars won’t be Teslas. That’s going to be a problem for the company moving forward.
- Comment on Forget boomers vs millennials, the next conflict is millennials vs each other 5 weeks ago:
It’s never really been boomers vs. millennials. It’s always been rich vs. poor.
